Realtor.com out of date

A friend of mine, Eric Blackwell inspired this rant I am calling a blog post with his blog about how Realtor.com can save themselves.

Realtor.com has been running their website as if it is 1999 ever since it was 1999. No real improvements, Just price increase after price increase all the while delivering fewer and fewer actual leads as each year goes buy. Because of the way many of the technologically inept Realtors in many areas run their internet advertising Realtor.com has been able to hold on with their very outdated and just plain bad product. The home selling consumer expects all of us to have their house fetured on Realtor.com so we are forced to pay Realtor.com's exorbitant prices even though for most of us it does not generate any actual home buyer or seller leads.

In Summit New Jersey and all of Union County New Jersey Realtor.com is totally expected by home sellers, but when I actually survey home buyers who come to open houses and home buyers that I have worked with in general very few of them report that they used Realtor.com before they met me. Of course once I start working with home buyers, I direct them to my website which has a much better home search feature than Realtor.com and it makes it very easy for the home buyer to do what they need to in their research of homes, towns, and areas.

Basically what I am saying is Realtor.com change drastically or your days are numbered!!

  • Fellow Realtors, What are your thoughts?? Speak out, Let Realtor.com hear by Blog rant that we their consumers are not happy with their product, prices, or service!!
